if usb-uhci fails try this..

Code:

Modprobe usb-ohci

continue with..

Code:

Modprobe usb-storagemkdir /mnt/zipmount -t vfat /dev/sda4 /mnt/zip

add this to /etc/fstab..

Code:

/dev/sda4 /mnt/zip vfat noauto user 0 0

Yes you want to do this in a terminal, and no it doesn't matter whether it's from KDE or Gnome.
